Daw Khin Kyi Mausoleum

Here lies Aung San’s widow and Aung San Suu Kyi's mother Daw Khin Kyi. Her funeral in 1989 was attended by more than 100,000 and was a galvanising moment in the country's early struggles to unseat the military government.

The mausoleum is the third closest to Shwedagon Paya in the quartet of mausoleums on this road. U Kyaw Min, the architect of the mausoleum, also designed the neighboring one for Thakin Kodaw Hmaing Mausoleum.
